These first 14 weeks have been incredible\u2026and tough. As a technophile, I am always trying out new gadgets and apps, and below are the ones I turned to during this first part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/mba\/\">MBA programme<\/a>. They\u2019ve helped me work faster, communicate better, and maximise my downtime.<\/p>\n<h2>To work<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Todoist<\/h3>\n<p>People think students have an easy life, not having to be in class from 9 to 5 every day. Actually, I\u2019m busier now than when I had a full-time job! While I used Todoist before starting the MBA, it\u2019s certainly come in handy now. I can quickly throw in my tasks, then organise them into projects and sub-projects, add deadlines and prioritise them. What\u2019s more, I can share projects with others, allowing for easy team collaboration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.todoist.com\/\"><strong>Todoist<\/strong><\/a> is a to-do list app available on just about every platform, including iOS, macOS, Windows, Android and online. It\u2019s free, though you can upgrade to Premium (\u00a321.99\/year) for additional features, such as adding comments to tasks, iCal synchronisation and location-based notifications.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Ulysses<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ulyssesapp.com\/\"><strong>Ulysses<\/strong><\/a> is my go-to writing app. In fact, it\u2019s what I used to draft this list, as well as any notes I took on the computer. I write everything in Markdown, which is a quick method of writing with formatting without breaking your flow. When I\u2019m ready to take it elsewhere, like to one of my blogs, I can copy the HTML underneath or export as a Word document or PDF. What\u2019s more, it has a handy document organisation panel to easily swap between documents.<\/p>\n<p>Ulysses is available on iOS (\u00a318.99) and macOS (\u00a334.99). Yes, I know this is a little on the pricey side, but after trying so many different tools, Ulysses offered everything I needed and more. It was worth it. If you want to try writing using Markdown without downloading anything, you can also use online apps like <a href=\"http:\/\/dillinger.io\/\"><strong>Dillinger<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stackedit.io\"><strong>StackEdit<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. RefME<\/h3>\n<p>Referencing \u2014 the bane of every student\u2019s life. There are a lot of strategies and tools out there, but the one I use is <a href=\"https:\/\/app.refme.com\/home\"><strong>RefME<\/strong><\/a>. With its Chrome extension, I can easily collect articles I find online into project folders. I can also manually add sources to projects, such as interviews, or scan books using the iOS or Android app. Group members can be added to projects so whole teams can work together to collect sources in one place. Swapping between referencing styles is simple, and then all my references can be exported for free in the right format, ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>For those wanting an extra level up, RefME also offers a Microsoft Word add-in that lets you add in-text citations and automatically updates a reference list at the end of the document. Bear in mind that this does come at a bit of a cost (\u00a324.99\/year), so weigh up how much effort it\u2019ll save you!<\/p>\n<h3>4. Slack<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/\"><strong>Slack<\/strong><\/a> is my favourite communication tool. Ever. I\u2019ve used it at work, with my best friend (and co-blogger), and for group projects so far at Hult. It supports multiple platforms support (meaning desktop, phone and web apps) and multiple teams, and you can share documents and have video calls right in the app. The icing on the cake is its excellent search facility, making it preferable over other messaging tools like Skype and WhatsApp. Best of all, you can use it for free! (With additional functionality at a cost, of course.)<\/p>\n<h3>5. Focus@Will<\/h3>\n<p>I was not completely sold on <strong>Focus@Will<\/strong> for a long time. The interface is a little bit clunky, and it <em>is<\/em> expensive. However, during midterm time, I gave in to the call of a 50% off sale\u2026and I don\u2019t regret it. Focus@Will plays music that\u2019s been specially engineered to increase productivity and focus, and I do personally think it works. You need to play around and find the best genres and energy levels for you, but once you do, you\u2019re good for hours of solid work!<\/p>\n<h2>To get around<\/h2>\n<h3>6. Citymapper<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m fairly sure most of the class relies on <a href=\"https:\/\/citymapper.com\/\"><strong>Citymapper<\/strong><\/a> to get around London. Not only does it do directions for public transport, it allows you to save locations for easy access later and gives you an ETA to share with your friends. Most importantly, however, is that it pulls in alerts regarding delays or closures, something I make sure to check before heading out to class. You <em>can\u2019t<\/em> be late at Hult.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Monzo<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monzo.com\/\"><strong>Monzo<\/strong><\/a> is a new British banking start-up, but all the action happens on your phone. You get a debit card you can load with money from your standard debit card, and as you use the card, all your expenditures are listed in the app, complete with categorisation and location. You can even take a photo of the receipt to store against the transaction!<\/p>\n<p>I think Monzo is great for students, I really do. I can set myself a spending budget each month and then try to stick to it, seeing how much I\u2019m spending and on what as the month progresses. It\u2019s money transfer functionality with anyone else with a Monzo card is also quick and easy, great for if you need to pay a friend back or borrow some cash.<\/p>\n<h2>To destress<\/h2>\n<h3>8. Spotify<\/h3>\n<p>I love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/\"><strong>Spotify<\/strong><\/a> so much I wrote a paper on it. I\u2019m not joking. Specifically, a microeconomic analysis of the business, so I really know it well now.<\/p>\n<p>I retired my music collection a couple years ago to an external hard disk and now rely on my Spotify Premium account for all my musical joy. Not only does it have almost everything I\u2019ve looked for, but I\u2019ve discovered more music than I would have otherwise through its playlists and recommendations. Plus, the offline functionality available with a Premium subscription means I can listen to my favourite albums and playlists on the London Underground!<\/p>\n<p>With student subscriptions going for \u00a33.99\/month, why wouldn\u2019t you sign up?<\/p>\n<h3>9. Netflix<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t watch live TV; I\u2019m part of the streaming generation, moving completely to online viewing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/\"><strong>Netflix<\/strong><\/a> is my platform of choice, with an affordable subscription and an ever-increasing variety of TV shows and movies. When I need to just switch off for half an hour to an hour after class, I know it\u2019ll be there for me with something \u2014 <em>anything<\/em> \u2014 to watch.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Pause<\/h3>\n<p>With so much work to do, it was easy to get anxious and stressed. It\u2019s important to take a step back and breathe, or try a little mindfulness. Mindfulness is becoming increasingly recognised as a valuable practice for calming down, but it\u2019s not always that easy to do for everyone. That\u2019s where Pause has been so helpful for me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/getpauseapp.com\/\"><strong>Pause<\/strong><\/a> is an incredibly simple app for iOS and Android (\u00a31.49) that gently forces you to let go of everything around you and slowly follow a circle around the screen before giving you free rein while you close your eyes.<\/p>\n<p>The best use I\u2019ve found for Pause is helping me go to sleep. When breathing exercises haven\u2019t been enough to quiet my mind enough so I can drift away, five minutes of Pause has worked 9 out of 10 times.<\/p>\n<h2>Bonus offline tools: my Passion Planner and bullet journal!<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, I\u2019m a techie, but that doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t appreciate the physical world in certain situations! Two items I take with me every day to class are my Passion Planner and my bullet journal. There\u2019s something about writing out my day and what I need to do on paper that I just can\u2019t replicate on a touch screen.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.passionplanner.com\/\"><strong>Passion Planner<\/strong><\/a> is a weekly planner meant with a special focus on figuring out your life goals and how to achieve them. They come in two sizes and different styles, and I\u2019m on my second one! As an added bonus, for every planner bought, one is given to someone who can\u2019t afford one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bulletjournal.com\/get-started\/\"><strong>Bullet journals<\/strong><\/a> take life back to the basics. One notebook to do everything, including time management, task management and note-taking. Once you know the basics, it\u2019s quite possibly the most flexible and powerful tool to sort out your life. I\u2019ve adapted it to just getting to grips with each week ahead. Every afternoon, I sit down with my bullet journal and look at what needs to be done by which day in the following week, as well as what events to keep in mind. I can then use the weekend to make sure I\u2019ve done everything I need for the next week, with the added satisfaction of crossing things off on paper.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for any more app recommendations or more information on any of these tools, find me on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dani_w121\">@dani_w121<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/apply-now\/\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-11451 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DIGI171025-Blog-Ad-banners_Artboard-8-720x92.png\" alt=\"Global Generation\" width=\"720\" height=\"92\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DIGI171025-Blog-Ad-banners_Artboard-8-720x92.png 720w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DIGI171025-Blog-Ad-banners_Artboard-8-500x64.png 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DIGI171025-Blog-Ad-banners_Artboard-8-768x98.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DIGI171025-Blog-Ad-banners_Artboard-8-1024x131.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Written by Global Ambassador,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/daniwerner121\">Dani Werner<\/a>, MBA student, London campus, Class of 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Hult offers a range of highly skills-focused and employability-driven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/en\/programs\/\">business school programs<\/a> including a range of MBA options and a comprehensive one year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/en\/programs\/masters\/international-business\/\">Masters in International Business<\/a>.
